The Los Angeles Clippers staffer who was involved in a January fight with Blake Griffin that left the All-Star forward with a broken hand will not be back with the team next season, a team spokesperson told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.

The Clippers would not comment on why Matias Testi, who had been an assistant equipment manager for the team, will not return.

In January, Griffin and Testi got into an argument in a restaurant during the team's trip to Toronto. Griffin broke his hand in the incident. The Clippers suspended him four games without pay, and he didn't return to the court again until April 3. Testi, meanwhile, suffered multiple facial injuries.

TMZ Sports first reported that Testi would not be a part of the 2016-17 Clippers.
